Detailed explanation-1: -Read-only memory, or ROM, is a type of computer storage containing non-volatile, permanent data that, normally, can only be read, not written to. ROM contains the programming that allows a computer to start up or regenerate each time it is turned on.
Detailed explanation-2: -ROM is an abbreviation for Read Only Memory, and is also referred to as firmware. It is an integrated circuit programmed with certain data during the time of it’s manufacturing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because ROM is read-only, it cannot be changed; it is permanent and non-volatile, meaning it also holds its memory even when power is removed. By contrast, random access memory (RAM) is volatile; it is lost when power is removed. The use of the similar term “non-volatile memory” is applicable here (more on that later.)
